Just applied to be an Associate editor of IGN. I've applied to IGN before but for some reason I've got a pretty good feeling about this one. I've been working pretty hard lately updating VGU and working at my school newspaper. Hopefully I can blog a bit more here at IGN and put some links up to my news and opinion pieces. I also have some new shows i'm prod8ucing at the moment. Hope to hear from you guys soon. I'll be writing here some more in the next few days.

Finally a job popped up in IGN that I am qualified for! So here we go, I’m applying for the Associate Editor position at IGN.com. Below are some of my video reviews and other things I have worked on over the years. I even provided some details below each video. Enjoy and if someone from IGN is reading this I hope to hear from you soon. : )

If the trend continues we could realistically see the PlayStation 3 outperform the Xbox 360 globally. So why should Sony come out of the gates with their console first? The way I see it Sony is in a good position when it comes to their home consoles. The PlayStation 3 is growing in popularity despite the fact Sony is in dire straits financially. Fortunately since Kaz Hirai has taken the reigns as CEO Sony is reporting that they will have their first profitable quarter since 2008. While the Vita is selling slowly and the PlayStation 3 is nearing the end of its life, it’s time for the next generation.

Sony already said they plan to wait on Microsoft to announce the next Xbox first before Sony unveils the PlayStation 4. If the last generation is an indicator Sony doesn’t need to get out of the gates first. Sony already has the exclusives and the software to beat out Microsoft. Microsoft might sell more copies of games like Call of Duty but they sorely lack software. Only one or two big exclusives come out for the Xbox a year while the PlayStation 3 has quite a few. Sony also has PlayStation Plus on their side, which has also been gaining a lot of momentum.

If Sony wants to dominate the next generation they need to be smart and avoid many of the problems they had with the PlayStation 3. For one they shouldn’t over price the console right out of the gates, if they were to price it competitively with the next Xbox Sony stands of chance of being top dog once again. They also need to do a better job of pushing the PlayStation Vita and getting more developers on board to make games. If Sony keeps up this momentum and truly brings something special to the table for the next generation, they shouldn’t have to worry about Microsoft’s offering too much, or trying to get out of the gates early.

If anyone was curious as to what a video review looks like behind the scenes, the next image should give you a pretty good idea. This is Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and everything you see are the footage and components for the Ni No Kuni video review.
